As an important auto part, rearview mirror can be generally divided into exterior rearview mirror, interior rearview mirror and underside rearview mirror. In recent years, along with consumers’ raised requirements on driving safety and comfortableness, new functions such as electrical control and anti-glare feature are increasingly popular in rearview mirror products. In 2011, the installation rate of electrical control exterior rearview mirror in Chinese passenger car market hit 78.63%, and that of automatic anti-glare interior and exterior rearview mirror reached 11.25% and 1.74%, respectively. In particular, their utilization rate in medium and high-end cars has come close to the global average level.
Unlike the automotive industry, Chinese government exercises a relatively loose policy on access to auto part industry for foreign companies, which gives rise to powerful foreign-funded enterprises and joint ventures and less competitive domestic brands in Chinese rearview mirror market. In 2010, among China’s Top 10 rearview mirror enterprises, four were foreign-invested and joint ventures whose sales volume together accounted for 35.05% of domestic rearview mirror market.
